A ladder is placed 3.5 feet away from the base of a tree. If the ladder forms a 53° angle with the ground, how many feet up the
tree will the ladder reach? Write only the number rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot.
1 answer:
Answer:
The ladder will reach 4.6 ft up the tree.
Step-by-step explanation:
When we draw out our triangle, we should see that we are given the horizontal leg and are trying to find the vertical leg. We use tan∅ to help solve:
tan53° = x/3.5
3.5tan53° = x
x = 4.64466
